is_uploaded_file function worked in linux But not in Windows - php

Question

Code
if(is_array($_FILES) && isset($_FILES['photography_attachment'])) {
if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES['photography_attachment']['tmp_name'])) {
$fileName = $_FILES["photography_attachment"]["name"]; // The file name
$fileTmpLoc = $_FILES["photography_attachment"]["tmp_name"]; // File in the PHP tmp folder
$fileType = $_FILES["photography_attachment"]["type"]; // The type of file it is
$fileSize = $_FILES["photography_attachment"]["size"]; // File size in bytes
$fileErrorMsg = $_FILES["photography_attachment"]["error"]; // 0 = false | 1 = true
$kaboom = explode(".", $fileName); // Split file name into an array using the dot
$fileExt = end($kaboom); // Now target the last array element to get the file extension
if (!$fileTmpLoc) { // if file not chosen
$error = $error."<p>Please browse for a file before clicking the upload button.</p>";
} else if($fileSize > 10485760) { // if file size is larger than 2 Megabytes
$error = $error."<p><span>Your file was larger than</span> 10 <span>Megabytes in size</span>.</p>";
unlink($fileTmpLoc); // Remove the uploaded file from the PHP temp folder
} else if (!preg_match("/.(gif|jpg|png|jpeg)$/i", $fileName) ) {
// This condition is only if you wish to allow uploading of specific file types
$error = $error."<p>Your file was not .gif, .jpg, .png</p>";
unlink($fileTmpLoc); // Remove the uploaded file from the PHP temp folder
} else if ($fileErrorMsg == 1) { // if file upload error key is equal to 1
$error = $error."<p>An error occured while processing the file. Try again.</p>";
}
}else{ $error = "Please try again !!!"; }
}else{ $error = "Attachment field cannot be blank!"; }
Always goto "Please try again !!!" else while uploading image in windows, but it worked well in linux system.
Can you please any one help me for this issue?

On windows platforms you musst replace inside the file path the "\" with an "/"
Like this:
$file = str_replace ("\\", "/", $_FILES['photography_attachment']['tmp_name']);
if(is_uploaded_file($file)) {
[...]
}
Or use the php build in method, for all systems:
$file = realpath($_FILES['photography_attachment']['tmp_name']);
if(is_uploaded_file($file)) {
[...]
}
